Member since 1998 The Kentucky Corn Growers Association (KyCGA) is a trade organization representing the interests of more than 2,000 corn producers across the Commonwealth. One of KyCGA's long-term initiatives is to promote and advance the corn-based ethanol industry, as it represents a substantial and growing market for Kentucky corn. In the late 90s, KyCGA advanced the developing infrastructure for E85 use in the state, providing support for the first public E85 fueling stations as well as private flexible-fuel vehicle (FFV) fleets and refueling for state governments and institutions. In 2004, KyCGA invested $1 million the Hopkinsville, KY, grower-owned ethanol production plant, Commonwealth Agri-Energy LLC. The investment gave the organization 6% ownership in the plant. Today, KyCGA continues to support and implement ethanol education campaigns and lobbies for corn-based ethanol friendly legislation. In the News

An unprecedented new campaign is underway between leading corn-producing states, the American Coalition for Ethanol, and the Renewable Fuels Association, with the goal of installing 5,000 blender pumps nationwide over the next three years.
